With Colorado set to open the 2019 season Thursday in Miami, here’s a look at the Rockies’ projected 25-man roster.

LINEUP

Andy Cross, The Denver Post

Colorado Rockies left fielder David Dahl (26) first baseman Ian Desmond (20) at the plate after Desmond hit a solo home run against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the third inning at Camelback Ranch Feb. 28, 2019.

119 — That’s how many runs Chuck Nazty scored last year to lead the N.L., the second straight year he’s done so. He could lead for a third consecutive season with another high-average hitter in Daniel Murphy added behind him.

2. Daniel Murphy (1B)

17.54 — The percentage of innings Daniel Murphy has played in his career at first base (1,761 out of 10,039 total innings), where Colorado looks for him to be a proficient defender in addition to barreling balls into the spacious Coors Field gaps.

11.4 — Story’s WAR (wins over replacement) for the past three seasons; the only N.L. shortstop with a total higher WAR from 2016-18 is the Cubs’ Javier Baez, and the sure-gloved Story’s offensive roof is far from reached.

$43,333 — After signing the richest deal in Colorado sports history, that’s the approximate dollar amount the perennial all-star will make per at-bat this season, based on a $26 million salary and a 600 at-bats estimate. Money well spent in LoDo.

62.0% — That was Ian Desmond’s ground ball rate last season, which led the major leagues. Fewer groundouts this season would mean a higher average and probably enhanced power numbers from his solid 22 homer showing last year.

466 — That’s how many feet Ryan McMahon’s third home run of spring went on March 18, part of a Cactus League hitting clinic the versatile infielder is putting on (three total homers, .457 average) to cement his role on the roster.

36 — Playing age of the veteran this season after his birthday April 8, making him oldest position player on team (five weeks older than Mark Reynolds). His baseball wisdom behind the plate will go a long way toward helping the pitching staff.

235 — That’s the weight Gray checked into spring training at after an offseason which emphasized nutrition, weight lifting and weight gain, and Gray needs to be sure to stay around that mark throughout the season in order to keep his edge.

2.16 — Anderson’s ERA in 33 July innings last year, when he was one of the best starting pitchers in all of baseball. If he can even be that guy for some of this season, the Rockies’ rotation will be effectively deep.

3.27 — Bettis’ ERA through May 22 last year, when he sported a 4-1 record and was Colorado’s most reliable arm. Finger blister issues derailed that success, but Bettis is back healthy and hungry again.

BENCH

Andy Cross, The Denver Post

Colorado Rockies center fielder Raimel Tapia (15) hits a single to the outfield against the Cleveland Indians in the fifth inning at Salt River Fields in the third inning at Talking Stick Feb. 26, 2019.

30.0 — The versatile rookie’s sprint speed last year, which not only makes Hampson the fastest second basemen in the major leagues this year, but also tied for the seventh-fastest player in all of baseball.

.319 — Tapia’s career minor league average, including .330 in 187 Triple-A games. The guy can clearly rake at that level, and with no options remaining, he’ll now get an extended opportunity to prove his bat consistently translates to the big leagues.

Tony Wolters (C)

1.99 — After hitting .170 last season, Wolter’s above-average pop-time and overall defensive aptitude earned him a spot with the hope that more consistent knocks, like his clutch go-ahead single in extras of the 2018 wild card game, are to come.

Mark Reynolds (PH/DH/1B)

6 — Reynolds enters the season with 294 career home runs, and whether the journeyman veteran in his 13th year (and second stint with Colorado) reaches 300 will be a good gauge as to his effectiveness as a right-handed bench bat.

BULLPEN

43 — The 33-year-old set a Rockies single-season record and led the N.L. with that number of saves last season, and if he cuts down on the handful of blowups he incurred, he has the endurance to surpass that mark.

2.23 — That was Oberg’s home ERA in 32-plus innings at Coors Field last season. Only the departed Adam Ottavino (2.10 ERA) was better at Coors Field out of the bullpen last year as Oberg assumes the eighth-inning set-up role this year.

Seunghwan Oh (RHP)

1.17 — Bud Black needs the veteran right-hander to become a seventh-inning stalwart once again, as he posted that minimal ERA in seven-plus innings of work during the seventh last regular season with Colorado.

3— Dunn served that many stints on the disabled list last season — two on the 10-day before being sent to the 60-day in late July — with shoulder issues that, post-postseason surgery, have been non-existent this spring with a 0.00 ERA in eight innings.

3.50 — Spring training numbers can deceive, and the Rockies hope the 32-year-old’s Cactus League ERA is an aberration as Colorado needs him to become the veteran left-handed bullpen force the club is paying him handsomely to be.

$8,500,000 — Only five Rockies players are making more dollars, and McGee is earning the same, but no one on the roster is under more pressure for a bounce-back season in 2019 than this right-hander, who has shown promise in the second half of spring.

.167 — That was Musgrave’s opponent average in 35 appearances last year, the best on the team besides Ottavino (.124), and Chris Rusin‘s back injury has given the second year-southpaw another early chance at proving himself.

DJ Johnson (RHP)

8 — That’s how many years Johnson spent in the minors before getting his first crack at the big leagues as a September call-up last year; he’s been sensational this spring.
